Actually why not rely on os.path to identify things correctly in the  
first place?

Which book still recommends code like this?

if string.find(a,'.') > 0 and string.split(a,'.')[1]=='png' and  
len(string.split(a,'.'))==2

Strings have had methods since Python 1.6!

But os.path.splitext() is probably all you need. Sorry that this won't  
help you find the cause of the crash.
